9 Fayrhust Rd, Saffron Lane, Leicester

The Orton family moved here in 1935 and it was here where  Joe spent his childhood.  Although the original house has long been demolished and replaced by a bungalow, a Blue Plaque commemorates the site.

 ‘It was strange. Everybody else on the estate seemed to be happy except us. We were always arguing and bickering’. Leonie Orton, 2007.
